TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) Not a very impressive performance by the store staff there -- assuming that the source video itself isn't a staged put-on. On the other hand, if that was a Thai store and you walked in with the same request, the immediate response from the staff typically would be "no hab" without even bothering to check -- even if the store actually has a whole section of hammers for sale, including the left handed ones! 🤪 Edited March 30 by TallGuyJohninBKK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the ingrained slouch, immediate nod into the phone, and the twisting on their heels gives it a great deal of authenticity in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etaoin Shrdlu Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 A futile search. Everyone knows that all hammers in the northern hemisphere are right-handed. You have to go to the southern hemisphere where all hammers are left-handed. This is due to the Coriolis effect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd766 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I well remember as a young boy of 15, being sent to the store for a long wait, a box of volts or amps, left handed hammers and screwdrivers. It terrified me as the store was on the other end of the building and I had to walk through a large room full of women, young, middle aged and old, single. married and divorced. Fortunately I was young, inexperienced and didn't understand what they were saying. Now I could give back as good as, or better, but would probably end up sacked or in jail as a few women nowadays would take great offence at the comments.

scottiejohn Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) Don't forget "getting a bucket of soap and water" to clean the bank notes, (cleaning bank notes means just separating the dirty torn notes from the usable ones) "tartan paint", "Sky Hooks", and in the navy "Milk for the Sea Cat" (Sea Cat was a Missile System)! I fell for all four, including the "Tartan Paint" even though I am Scottish! PS; Here is a link to a list of the most common ones!
